Abstract: Aziridine and phenethanolamine derivatives of formulae I and II-1 ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are hydrogen or lower-alkyl; Z.sup.1 is phenyl or a phenyl group substituted in a defined manner; Z.sup.2 and Z.sup.21 are phenyl or thienyl substituted in a defined manner; and, n is an integer from 1-4. The disclosed compounds have catabolic activity and can be used for the treatment of obesity and/or of sugar illnesses. The compounds of formula I are obtained by dehydrating .beta.-aminoalcohols (e.g. those of formula II-1) which, in turn, can be prepared by adding amines to epoxides or by reducing corresponding iminoketones, iminoalcohols a-keto-.beta.-hydroxyamines or .beta.-ketoamines.
